    Heck I thought everyone knew that....I have several stuck in all my bags and vechicles....but I want a nice set for when I want to go out on a date in the rain.....I would never wear Sunday-go-to-meeting stuff to an IED party....

    As much as I like the Arc'Teryx LEAF line, there is no way on God's green earth I can justify the cost.

    It's worth the penny, if you have the hundreds of pennies to buy it.

    There are 2 items in the LEAF line that are a must own:
    Atom LT jacket
    Kneepads

    The rain jacket - Alpha LT. I don't live in Portland/Seattle, so I can't justify it.

    Would those knee pads be the Military Knee Caps? I've been reading good things about those.

    Yes. Absolute best Knee Pads/Caps around unless your going with the Crye Combat Pants with internal Caps.

    I run the Dirty Bird caps for any time I need knee protection.

    On Rain Gear topic, The Dirty Bird Sphynx is a hybrid Hard Shell/Soft Shell for wet weather protection for wear with body armor. It works very well, at a high price though.

    I just realized I haven't said anything on topic here.

    I've got an emergency poncho in a cargo pocket, a goretex jacket (still need pants, I keep forgetting about this) for winter, and just picked up a Frogg Toggs Ultralite2 suit.
